Infrared technology
Infrared cameras are primarily applied in the measurement of solid body temperatures (e.g. material bed, burning bed and slag). Solid state temperature is derived from radiation intensity in the range of 3.8 – 4.0 µm with IR cameras, which were optimised for thermal combustion processes. In this range, the hot combustion gases and flames are mostly transparent. With these IR cameras, available from ci-Tec, absolute temporal fluctuations of solid state temperatures can be captured at distribute locations through the flames.
In application areas not requiring the viewing through flames for recording temperature distribution, ci-Tec can provide NIR cameras, which measure within the near infrared range. In this way, the temperature distribution of heated metal parts can be recorded.
